Genetic Analysis of mcr-1-Carrying Plasmids From Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Dutch Tertiary Care Hospital: Evidence for Intrapatient and Interspecies Transmission Events

Genetic Analysis of mcr-1-Carrying Plasmids From Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Dutch Tertiary Care Hospital: Evidence for Intrapatient and Interspecies Transmission Events

The role of plasmids in the complex pandemic of antimicrobial resistance is increasingly being recognized. In this respect, multiple mobile colistin resistance (mcr) gene-carrying plasmids have been described. However, the characteristics and epidemiology of these plasmids within local healthcare se...
